Mostly About Organized Crime

Law enforcement in Canada has abandoned the fight against the Mafia as reported by The Globe and Mail: "RCMP has moved hundreds of officers from organized-crime probes to terrorism investigations in a bid to track suspected sympathizers of the Islamic State," and "this may come at a cost to other important RCMP missions, such as stopping human trafficking, getting guns off the street and curbing trade in illicit drugs such as fentanyl." The United States similarly stopped targeting organized crime several years ago, and in 2011 slashed the number of FBI agents assigned to investigating the Mafia families in order focus on Muslim terrorists.

The 'Ndrangheta or Calabrian Mafia "is selling assault rifles to Islamic State leaders in Libya in return for looted archaeological treasures" according to Italian newspaper La Stampa as reported by The Australian:

La Stampa reports that the Calabrian network, which dominates Europe's drug trade, works with the Camorra in Naples to buy Kalashnikov rifles and rocket-propelled grenade launchers smuggled out of Ukraine and Moldova by the Russian mafia. The armaments are then traded in return for ancient Roman and Greek statues that Isis fighters have dug up illegally in Libya, which was a colony of the two ancient cultures. Isis has ruled over swathes of the country for months.

The Italian Mafia then sells the acquired treasures to Russian and Chinese collectors.

So glad that organized crime has found a way to make a buck out of the world turmoil generated by Islamic terrorism.

The UK increasingly is providing a fascist platform for Muslim extremists to spread their hateful ideology, and has issued a visa to Shaykh Hamza Sodagar, a radical cleric with a video detailing five ways to kill gay people, for his visit at the Islamic Republic of Iran School in London from October 4 through October 12 as reported by the Express: "his intolerant views are compatible with strict Sharia law, which deems homosexuality as a crime." Gay activist Peter Tatchell "is urging the Home Secretary to revoke Sodagar's visa" as reported by the Mirror: "calling for death to LGBT people crosses a red line," he said, and "the Home Office was wrong to grant him a visa and should now revoke it." Send Sodagar's evil ass back to freakin' Iran where he's been studying bullshit for the last fifteen years.

The FBI "has been closely watching" Maryland-based Muslim cleric Suleiman Anwar Bengharsa over his extremist views which include rabid homophobia as reported by The New York Times.

Imam Bengharsa is behind the Islamic Jurisprudence Center which describes itself as "an independent Islamic law resource center for Muslims living in predominantly non-Muslim societies" whose "mission is to promote and advance the understanding of and compliance with Islamic law (Sharia) in all facets of life" which "is divine law, and therefore, unequivocally superior to man-made laws."

The Islamic Jurisprudence Center includes "Islamic Injunction/Fatwa #8" concerning "The Status Of Those Who Accept And/Or Legitimize Homosexuality Or The Homosexual Act." The Prophet Muhammad said "whoever you find doing as the people of Lot did (i.e., homosexuality), kill the one who does it and the one to whom it is done," and Imam Bengharsa explains "based on the above, the sharia (Islamic law) treats the homosexual act as a major, despicable sin, which is punishable by killing."

Apparently not everyone, including some imams in the United States, believe that Islam is a religion of peace. Indeed, if the quotations attributed to the so-called Prophet are accurate, Muhammad himself did not sound like a chill dude.
